Who did you look up to? - Page 5

**DossarLX ODI** · 08-19-2013, 09:40 PM

Back in the 2005-2007 era, Shashakiro.

2008 was the vibrating age and that's when I saw players like Isaac (Sakish) and Danny (now goes by redsea on FFR) getting insane vibrating passes. http://youtu.be/v-01Tmnayts?t=1m26s There were also other guys such as Dynam0, henkz, and eliazzen getting sick vibrating passes.

After 2008 I kind of just did my own thing. I got the first AA on Death Moon Edit in 2009 etc. in that year I didn't really look up to anyone, I just kept playing the game.

This is a great thread. I've always wanted to give shoutouts to online bros I have never met.

I started my journey on the pad, so I guess my first hero was iamchris4life. I remember seeing him do BMR's A and Cartoon Heroes (backwards) on ebaumsworld. Also, the famous JSB vs Reflexx LoM video stuck with me.

As I transitioned to SM, the video that stuck with me the most was Arch0wl's Quasar 1.5x AAA. Also, I downloaded all sorts of simfiles from bemanistyle so I remember names like RaikouRaider, phenomega, Karppa, etc.

I took a huge break from everything and got back into it last year. New heroes like BROSONI, RIN-GO, and MadMatt emerged. Currently, I feel dwarfed by all of these fantastic players on this site, so I look up to a lot of people, particularly Dossar and Staiain. Also, I look up to people just outside my skill level like Xiz because they help push me.

AJ because getting into TC was always my dream (when teams were actually legit)

If I have to go by skill, simfile making and personality:

Skill: Dynam0 has definitely been one of the people I've looked up to. Staiain too, but I'd say he has a greater influence than Stai did. Others include Isaac, Dossar and AJ.

Personality: moches, alloyus or danceguy, no questions asked.

Simfiles: bmah, although I might not like all of his files, his knowledge on simfiles is extremely vast and he is a great person to talk to when it comes to simfiles. ilikexd's getting up there too, in my opinion.

**redsea** · 08-20-2013, 10:01 PM

Dossar and Isaac have always been my inspirations. The main reason I have started switching to spread is because of Dossar's achievements on ffr. I saw his rate thread and I couldn't help but feel sad that I USED to be able to compete with such a skilled player [even if it was just on vibrafiles]. Both of these guys have showed me a lot of love over the years.

**DossarLX ODI** · 08-20-2013, 10:04 PM

Oh yeah, redsea/Danny was also an inspiration to me back in the 2008 vibrating era. He got 15 misses on roflcopter and a lot of other vibrating scores that blow my mind, haha

**lumphoboextreme** · 08-20-2013, 10:09 PM

Shash, Bahamut-X, Smitty

**Herogashix** · 08-20-2013, 10:09 PM

I used to look up to Dossar and Eze back when I was still in my BS phase. I probably wanted to be on their levels so that urged me to Judge1Life1. Been a long way since then, and I still find myself looking up to them in one way or another.

**Arkuski** · 09-4-2013, 03:38 PM

Adding to this, I also remember watching DJ Sterf videos, specifically this one where he becomes one of the first people to play Fascination Maxx:

Also this one where he softpads Destiny:

**xVaLoRx** · 09-4-2013, 05:33 PM

alexdest & midare

**All_That_Chaz** · 09-5-2013, 03:14 PM

I guess when I started caring about the game it was all about Shash. But then he became a selfish bastard, and I was living really close to Hammy so I always thought of him as the kind of player I'd want to be. Sure, he was an absurd arrow-smasher, but more than that he was just an awesome guy. The Hammy and Chaz days were some of my favorite. I miss ya, bud =')

EtienneSM · 09-5-2013, 05:11 PM

When I started to get to know players, I also looked up to Roy (Dossar) for the most part. I used to always think he was a Stepmania god and watched his SM videos all the time, haha. Dynam0's MA scores made me push myself to scores I don't think I'll ever get again (Cry of the Brave 17p, Dignity 3p, Superluminal AAA, and more)
Oh, I used to watch StepmaniaFreak a lot too, too bad I never got a chance to talk to him.

**Pseudo Enigma** · 09-5-2013, 05:55 PM

I never looked up to him, but I always felt like shit watching Herogashix beat me at a game. so gay

stopped playing a while ago and dgaf since wrists are damaged enough.

**i love you** · 09-5-2013, 11:43 PM

When I first started, I looked up to Bahamut-X, Shash, and Reach

Once I started Stepmania, I only looked up to Thaor.

Now I look up to people like samurai, issac, dynam0, staiain and pretty much MA gods like AlexDest, midare, oldcartoon etc...
